See what anger has caused? This family can never be the same agin because even if nobody prosecutes for the offense they will not forgive themselves or forgive each other for shedding the blood of their kin.. It is a pity!

Chidiebere should be hung by his neck. Simply because of two phones totaling 35,000 Naira he killed his nephew. The bastard is power hungry. The community should make sure the police do not release him since he is a councilor and can try to influence the police and the judge.

This kind of thing happens when people feel too powerful and unquestionable. Can human life be equated to phones? Is this how cheap and worthless that we all have fallen. To Fulani herdsmen, their cattle is worth more than human blood. And to this fellow here, two phones worthier than the life of his nephew. Let the law teach him a lesson.

Gionee M5 alone is N45K. I dont want to talk about Nokia XL or Lumia. So, in short if two phones cost N35K it means they are even cheap phones, and to kill your own blood related just because of such cheap phones means you are a low life, not fit to b a councellor of a ward.

Who were the people that even voted this Aturu-(Sheep) into that office?

They should take him to SARS office so that they will use him for morning, afternoon and evening exercise for 6months if he still survives it, then hang him.

Na waoo bcos of phone you purposely killed the boy an ended his future you heartless beast,u are a vampire an you dont belong to this earth may God take you to where u belong cos you are a curse to your family generation.
